I have been really good today, only just started my first G&T of the day.

Not a confession but on the subject.
I have said before, both me and MrsD were brought up in strict religious households**. Both escaped got away years ago.
But as a result of being brought up to "believe" we were both virgins when we married. Not a problem as we quickly rectified that and have been happily rectifying it ever since .
All in all a bl**dy good marriage.
**grandson No 1 often reminds us......"grandad, if it had not been for that religion you would not have met and we would not be here".....a sobering thought really.

Married at 20 ... Loads of love and 3 wonderful children ... 12 years later she holds my hand .. Looks into my eyes, tells me how much she loves me ...
And tells me all about my friends wives that she has slept with......
She loves me, but has all the children she wants, and although I'm lovely ..... She is moving to Bexhill with Leanne and the horses.
.
BUT ... Unknown to her I was sleeping with her best friend as well... HA !!!
And after 15 years of joy together, we married .. 14 years ago ... on the 14th of February, in the hotel i worked in as a 15 year old pot boy ....
And lived happily ever after ....
Modern families ... You couldn't make it up !!!

And Yes ... Carol and Leanne are still together and annoyingly happy ......... .... although both horses have died of old age ..... small ha ! .... I liked the horses ... and Leanne .....

31 years later it still upset me to think what a bloody fool I was, I should have just walked away,but deep down I loved her, but that was one sided.

Forecast for today was not too good but in fact the weather was sunny with a stiff rather cool breeze so managed another nice run out on the trike with very little traffic. The rain has now started but managed to get the weeds out from around the beans first and the wind kept the midges away.

87, Durham Road. It was rough. If Mrs P was on a late shift I had to meet her at the bus stop to walk her home.

I was born at 1?? Ivor Road, Sparkhill then moved up to No 7? until 1962.

Ahhh yes, Nitty Norah, the biddy explorer. Nice memories.
That brought another memory back. Linda Bagley. We were 5 years old and in love.

Sister of Philomena?

Bonjour! Talking about weddings, many couples spend thousands of pounds on their special day, only to get divorced a few years later. When I married again in 1987, we organised it all ourselves: the food, hired a room in a local pub and married at Registry Office. The whole lot for a few hundred pounds and everyone enjoyed it. Still together 33 years later with all the ups and downs of married life of course but that's life.

Forrest Gumps Mama was wrong!
